4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of
this application:
The subject property currently comprised of three different uses: (1) forest land, (2) agricultural land,
and (3) developed land (sewer line). The forested communities preent on site consist of both harwood
dominated areas, pine dominated areas and mixed pine -hardwood areas. The hardwood dominated
areas generally consist of a canopy of sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) , red maple (Acer rubrum) ,
yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and American beech (Fagus grandifolia). The shrub layer is
primarily saplings of the canopy species, but also includes ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), Chinese
privet (Ligustrum sinense), and red cedar (juniperus virginiana). The groundcover consists of vines
such as Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) and wild grape (Vitis rotundifolia) with herbaceous
individuals such as Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), and blackberry (Rubus argutus) also
being present. The pine dominated areas are mostly comprised of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) with
sparse shrub and herbaceous layers. The mixed pine -hardwood areas are generally dominated by the
the same primary species in the hardwood dominated areas with loblolly pine being a less dominate
member of the community. The small agricultural fields on site consist of pasture area. Topography in
the area is generally moderately sloped. There are five wetland areas located on site. Four of the
wetland areas are located adjacent to tributaries that bisect the site. These small wetland areas consist
of a few canopy tree species such as sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and Ironwood (Carpinus
caroliniana). The majority of shrubs are saplings of canopy species. Herbaceous groundcover is
dominated by Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).
The fifth wetland area is a relatively large wetland area that is located in a "topographic bowl," just
west of South New Hope Road. The area collects precipitation and runoff from the surrounding areas
and funnels it down gradient until the flow channelized and forms one of the onsite streams. This fifth
wetland area is dominated vegetatively by sweetgum and red maple in the overstory. The shrub layer is
dominated by silverthorn (Elaeagnus pungens), and the understory is sparse, containing small areas of
Japanese stiltgrass. Two jurisdictional streams are located within the subject property. The western-
most tributary begins at the large wetland areas and flows off -site before returning onto the property.
The eastern -most tributary begins near a property line and flows south until it intersects the western-
most tributary (just prior to exiting the southern property boundary. These streams eventually flow into
Catawba Creek. General land use in the vicinity of the project is mostly residential development, with
some commercial and institutional development areas occurring near the proposed development.
Undeveloped areas make up only a minor portion of the overall land area near the project.

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The growth of the housing market in the greater Charlotte Metropolitan area (seven county area) has been
enormous since the end of the "Great Recession." The demand for housing in the area skyrocketed between
2011 and 2022. Since the beginning of 2022, inflation fears have dampened demand for housing in certain areas
of the country. Within the Charlotte Metropolitan area, demand for housing has only seen relatively modest
declines and still exceeds the current supply. The overall purpose of the project is to design and construct a
residential development (Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND)) for this area within the City of
Gastonia in order to meet the demand for housing in this quickly growing area of Gaston County (West Charlotte
Metropolitan Region) , North Carolina.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The overall project is designed to be a "Traditional Neighborhood," meaning that the site will contain both single
family and multi -family residential features, as well as some commercial/retail, all within the confines of the
project. Along with existing features in the vicinity, the site will form the core of a neighborhood concept that the
City of Gastonia is keen to create. The site will have three permanent jurisidictional impacts (2 tributary
crossings for access and one wetland fill area for infrastructure). There will also be temporary impacts
associated with the stream crossings (pump around activities for construction of the culverts), and for the
construction of the retaining wall within the wetland area.
The equipment that will be used during the construction of this site will include, but is not limited to: bulldozers,
excavators, heavy trucks, and similar equipment used in heavy construction.
4j. Attach project drawings/site diagrams/depictions of impact areas for the proposed project.
4k. Will this activity involve dredging in wetlands or waters? *
❑ Yes ❑x No
If yes, describe the type of dredging, the composition of the dredged material, and the locations of disposal area.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through project design:
During the initial design efforts, several configurations were evaluated for lot efficiency and environmental
impact. The first draft of a sketch plan initially had approximately 1,100 linear feet of stream impact and 0.73-
acre of wetland impact proposed for the project. The engineer and developer both agreed that the impacts were
too great and that a plan could be derived on this site that met the overall purpose and need for the site, while
minimizing impacts to jurisdictional areas and reducing the potential mitigation costs associated with any
permitted impacts.
A second draft of the sketch plan was successful in somewhat reducing impacts to the Stream A (drains to
Catawba Creek) by reducing the number of roads and lots that would affect Stream A, reducing the overall
stream impacts to ±1,100 linear feet for the site and wetland impacts down to 0.73-acre for the site. Again, the
engineer and developer both agreed that the impacts were still too great and that a plan could be derived on this
site that met the overall purpose and need for the site while further minimizing impacts to jurisdictional areas and
reducing potential mitigation costs.
The final plan, which is presented as the preferred plan (Engineering Drawings) reduced permanent impacts to
Stream A down to 136.7 linear feet (0.013-ac) for a single road crossing. The permanent impact to the wetland
at the head of Stream A was reduced down to 0.464-acre through the use of a retaining wall. The impact to
Stream C was also reduced down to a smaller road crossing with a permanent stream impact of 60.6 linear feet
(0.006-ac) through the use of larger headwalls.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Reduction in impacts through construction techniques generally revolved around the use of retaining walls and
headwalls to reduce the footprint of the proposed impacts to streams and wetlands.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S., Waters of the State, or Riparian Buffers
2a. If compensatory mitigation is required, by whom is it required? ❑x DWR ❑x Corps

Expiration of Acceptance: 10/14/2023
County: Gaston
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.

additional information, please contact [e-mail].

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The enclosed species list
fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Please note that new species information can change your official species list. Under 50 CFR
402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list
should be verified after 90 days. The Service recommends you visit the ECOS-IPaC website at
regular intervals during project planning and implementation to ensure your species list is
accurate or obtain an updated species list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A biological assessment (BA) or biological evaluation (BE) should be completed for your
project. A BA is required for major construction activities (or other undertakings having similar
physical impacts) considered to be Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c))
(NEPA). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a BE be
prepared to determine effects of the action and whether those effects may affect listed species
and/or designated critical habitat. E?ects of the action are all consequences to listed species or
critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences of other

04/10/2023
activities that are caused by the proposed action. A consequence is caused by the proposed action
if it is reasonably certain to occur and would not occur "but for" the proposed action..
Recommended contents of a BA/BE are described at 50 CFR 402.12. More information and
resources about project review and preparing a BA/BE can be found at the following web link:
https://www.fws. gov/office/asheville-ecological-services/asheville-field-office-online-review-
process-overview.
If a Federal agency determines listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected
by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR
402. The Service is not required to concur with "no effect" determinations from Federal action
agencies. If consultation is required, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed
species, proposed critical habitat, and at -risk species be addressed within the consultation. More
information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of
permit or licensed applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook"
at the following web link: https://www.fws.gov/media/endangered-species-consultation-
handbook.
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Act, there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA)
and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project -
related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds,
including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12
and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). More information about MBTA and BGEPA can be found at the
following web link: https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-birds.
We appreciate your consideration of Federally listed species. The Service encourages Federal
agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species in their project planning
to further the purposes of the Act. Please contact our staff at 828-258-3939, if you have any
questions. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference the
Consultation Code which can be found in the header of this letter.

ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SPECIES
There is a total of 5 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesi, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

MIGRATORY BIRDS
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act! and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Actz.
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to
migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider
implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.
1. The Migratory Birds Treat. Act of 1918.
2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.
3. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)
The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the
USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your
project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this
list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location,
nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact
locations of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project
area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species
on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing
the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to
additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your
migratory bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be
found below.
For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures
to reduce impacts to migratory birds on your list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE

PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the
FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence (■)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week
months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see
below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher
confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for
that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee
was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12
(0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
Breeding Season( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across
its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project
area.

04/10/2023
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on
all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

MIGRATORY BIRDS FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.

04/10/2023 4
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize
impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly
important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in
the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very
helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding
in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits
may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of
infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my
specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCQ and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding.
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information
Locator (RAIL)Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look
at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each
bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated
with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point
within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not
breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?

04/10/2023 5
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. 'BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern
throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. 'BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation
Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on
your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles)
potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities
(e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Lorin.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of

04/10/2023
H.
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

RE: Wilson Site - Revised; 19023.01
Dear Paul Petitgout:
13. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httr)s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally -
listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.

RE: Wilson Site
Federal Threatened and Endangered Species Evaluation
Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Stygar:
Lowrys Environmental & Ecological Services, LLC (LEES), has conducted an investigation for the
potential of federally listed threatened and endangered species or their associated habitats within an
approximate 125-acre tract located near the intersection of South New Hope Road and East Hudson
Boulevard, in the City of Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina.
Federal and State Threatened and Endangered Species Evaluation
The USFWS iPac official species list indicates five species with the potential to inhabit the Wilson
site. Those 5 species include: Tri-colored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), Monarch butterfly (Danaus
plexippus) , Bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) , Dwarf -flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora) ,
and Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii),. LEES evaluated the project study area for
potential habitat for two of these federally listed Threatened (T) or Endangered (E) species that occur
on the official species list downloaded from USFWS: (1) Schweinitz's sunflower, and (2) Dwarf -
flowered heartleaf. The other three species were not included in the evaluation for the following
reasons: (a) Monarch butterfly was not included in the evaluation because it is only considered a
candidate species for listing and does not require Section 7 consultation; (2) Bog turtle is considered
Threatened due to similarity of appearance, which does not require Section 7 consultation; and (3)
Tri-colored bat is listed as Proposed Endangered, which does not require Section 7 consultation,
currently.
The habitat evaluations/surveys took place in late April 2022 for Dwarf -flowered heartleaf and in
October 2022 for Schweinitz's sunflower. Habitat evaluation/surveys consisted of pedestrian
transects across the forested portion of the project site for Dwarf -flowered heartleaf. Habitat
evaluations/surveys for Schweinitz's sunflower concentrated along all easements/rights of way
(mainly sewer and roadsides, along with three open fields/field edges
Dwarf -flowered heardeaf (T), Dwarf -flowered heartleaf typically occurs in Piedmont uplands on
sandy -loam, acidic soils that are generally somewhat deep and moderately permeable. North facing
aspects are also a favorite of Dwarf -flowered heartleaf. Typical habitats for this species include
mesic to dry bluffs, slopes, or ravines in deciduous forests that are commonly associated with

mountain laurel or in moist soils within the floodplains of small creeks or streams. Sometimes they
can be found along lakesides and larger rivers.
Based on the habitat evaluations/surveys conducted across the forested portions of the subject
property, habitat potential would be considered marginal across the site. The vegetation is
dominated by hardwoods with small areas of mixed pine -hardwood. Understories were relatively
open with some undergrowth of shrubs and smaller saplings and seedlings. One species of
Hexastylis was located in several places on site, common heartleaf (Hexastylis arifolia). The
surveys/evaluations conducted did not reveal any occurrences of Dwarf -flowered heartleaf.
Additionally, the NCNHP records indicated no documented occurrences of this species within 1.0
mile of the project site. Further review of the database noted that the closest known population is
located approximately 9.5-miles to the southwest of the site. Since the habitat is considered to be
marginal, we would recommend a biological conclusion of, may affect, not likely to adversely affect,
even though, no individuals were located on -site during the surveys/evaluations.
Biological Conclusion: May affect, not likely to adversely affect
Schweinitz' sunflower (E) tends to grow in soils that are thin, and generally occur on upland
interstream flats or gentle slopes, on soils that are clayey in texture, and, when weathered from
metasedimentary rocks, often contain large quantities of slaty rock fragments. This species also
inhabits generally open areas, with abundant sunlight and little competition from other vegetation.
The majority of the project site is forested and has been for many years. There are three cleared
fields that would provide habitat along the field edges (fields are mainly maintained pastures).
Additionally, there were access roads to the fields, as well as sewer line easement that also provides
potential habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower. These areas were evaluated/surveyed during October
2022. The habitat potential for these areas would be considered marginal at best, due to the fact that
the field edges and roadsides/sewer easements are relatively maintained, and the edges are quite
thick with vegetation. During the systematic survey of these areas, no individuals of Schweinitz's
sunflower were observed. The NCNHT records review indicated that there are no populations that
occur within a one -mile radius of the subject property. Further investigation of the NCNHP
database noted that the closest known population is approximately 3.5 miles to the southeast.
However, since the habitat is considered to be marginal, we would recommend a biological
conclusion of, may affect, not likely to adversely affect, even though, no individuals were located
on -site during the surveys/evaluations.
Summary
Habitat potential for both Dwarf -flowered heartleaf and Schweinitz's sunflower would be considered
marginal. Even though no individuals were identified during the evaluations/surveys, we would
recommend a biological conclusion of may affect but is not likely to adversely affect either of these
two species. Additionally, LEES would not recommend any additional survey work for the two
listed species.

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
® There appearto be waters onthe above described project a rea/property, that may be subjectto Section 404 ofthe Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 ofthe Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters have been
delineated, and the delineation has beenverifiedby the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries
of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation mapdated 7/22/2020. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination
maybe used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computationof
impacts, compensatory mitigationrequirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a
preliminary JD will treat allwaters and wetlands thatwould be affected in anyway by the permitted activity on the site as if they
are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program
Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, youmay requestan approved JD, which is an appealable
action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters on the above described project a rea/property, that maybe subjectto Section 404 ofthe Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 ofthe Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters
have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process.
Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of C WA/RHA
jurisdiction over allof the waters at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate andreliable to support anenforceable
permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able
to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultantto conduct a delineation that can
be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters ofthe United States within the above described project area/property subjectto the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers andHarbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 ofthe Clean WaterAct
(CWA)(33USC§ 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination maybe relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waterson the above described project area/property subjectto thepermit requirements of Section 404 ofthe Clean

will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWAjurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in
the law or our published regulations, maybe relied upon for a periodnotto exceed five years.
❑ The waters have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official
identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determinationmay be relied
upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, pre sent on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination maybe relied upon for a period notto exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one ofthe 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill materialwithin waters of the US, in cludin g wetlands, without a Department ofthe Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section301 of the Clean WaterAct (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters ofthe United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may bejurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or othergeneral permitverification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general
permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit
authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being
required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the rightto request an
individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other
general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and
thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subjectpermit authorization without
requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6)
accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking
any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by
that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction
in any administrative orjudicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative
appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or
a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit
denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an
administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether
geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an
official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that
there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
